Preparing for Remembrance
Each year the railway comes together to remember the sacrifice and loss experienced during times of conflict. This year there will be events across the network.
Below we have a list of services that are being planned. But some are still to be confirmed
Remembrance services are not intended to glorify war or trivialise sacrifice and loss experienced, but to both facilitate a corporate act of remembrance and to bring a connection between church and industry that can stimulate conversation and understanding. Chaplains are working to build on the success of the past and to enhance the chaplaincy and the relationship between stations and local churches.
